Pumpkin Streusel Muffins - moist and fluffy muffins topped with streusel. Perfect with a steaming hot latte!
It's the last pumpkin recipe of the season, friends! And it's a good one too! I made them one super chilly morning while my Hubby whipped up our Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte.
We have been enjoying my pumpkin muffins a lot recently, either chocolate chip studded or Nutella filled. They are so delicious and they always disappear fast.
That chilly late fall morning required a steaming hot of latte and a seasonal treat. These muffins sounded like the perfect thing.
This time I wanted to give them a little bit of crunch. I considered stuffing them with toffee bits. That should still happen because I love love toffee bites! But you may know how much I love streusel and when it comes to fall baked goods, streusel just fits. It's so easy to whip it up and it gives the muffins just the right amount of crunch. I didn't want it to overwhelm so it's not as high as on this Best Apple Crumb Cake but still creates big chunks of sweet crumbs.
So, next time you feel like your morning coffee needs something special yet easy to make - try these Pumpkin Streusel Muffins. They will make your morning that much better!
